Traffic Report - responses 11 to 16

8          Conclusions
Following the assessment and analyses presented in this report, it is concluded that:
        An empirical assessment of the site’s peak car parking demand for the various uses at a full 299 bed
         occupancy is summarised below:
             - School Camp:                38 cars / 7 buses.
             - School Holiday Camp:
                        102 cars / 4 buses at drop off.
                        118 cars / 4 buses at pick up.
             - Weekend Use:                108 cars.
        The proposed 126 car parks (88 formal / 38 informal) on the site is expected to accommodate
         typical site demands.
        The car parking is either existing, or informal, with the informal (new) parking designed in
         consideration of the Australian Standards.
        Appropriate on-site accessibility by 12.5m and 14.5m rigid vehicles has been demonstrated by
         swept path assessments.
        The traffic generation for the various use components is detailed in the body of this report.
        Assuming the site’s 299 beds are fully occupied, the daily two-way traffic volume on Kabi Road,
         with the addition of the development, is 73 – 403 vehicles per day. On this basis, upgrade of the
         existing Kabi Road carriageway to a 6.2m wide seal width is recommended.
        The traffic generated by the development at the Kabi Road / Cootharaba Road intersection does
         not trigger upgrade works. It is however noted that the existing intersection does not meet the BAR
         design requirements of AUSTROADS.
        The intersection of Kabi Road / Cootharaba Road, at a minimum, will need to be upgrade to match
         the upgraded 6.2m Kabi Road pavement width.
